Security Analytics and Intelligence

We look into both stored data and network communications to identify malicious activities using AI and Data Science techniques. We have already built our AI-based anti-malware that can detect 0-day malware.

Check out our android anti-malware website at astan.org where you can upload Android Package (APK) files and get them verified by both a collection of conventional anti-malware products, provided by virustotal.com, and our own AI-based anti-malware.

Smart Cities and Fourth Industrial Revolution

Smart cities combine home and industrial IoT, smart home technologies and augmented reality technologies. Securing these components together is particularly challenging. This theme focuses on how trust management technologies, including blockchain, and security data analytics can be adapted to the needs of the critical infrastructure of future cities.

Our Blockchain applications portfolio includes: a digital health records application to manage the patient’s relationship with medical entities, a real-estate management system, an intellectual property registration system, a car insurance claim system, and a distributed application for the dissemination of digital forensics information.

Securing the Human

This theme covers several aspects of the human element of security, including identity and access management, security awareness, threat intelligence & hunting, usable low-friction security, privacy, and biometrics.

Secure Critical Infrastructure

Cyber terrorism has become a reality that faces all states and threatens to bring down their critical infrastructure. We actively work on the security of cloud computing, SCADA industrial control systems, digital health security, and Internet of Things.

Digital Forensics

Digital forensics is the process of recovery and investigation of digital evidence. Incident management is part of the blue team and is the process for detecting, responding to and mitigating cybersecurity incidents. Digital forensics and incident management facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and connect academia with law enforcement agencies (LEA) and industry.
We have experience collaborating with LEAs and research in Computer and Mobile Forensics, Multimedia Forensics (Source Device Identification and Biometrics), Forensics and Incident Management, Automation of Forensics and Security (Computational Forensics), and Evidence-based approach for policing of digital forensics and cybercrime.
